AuthorTopic: Can't update mirrors (Read 2147 times)

AMD 64: newly installed vl 5.9 RC2.I get an error message trying to update the package/extra/patch list with gslapt.The firewall is not enabled and no matter which mirrors I select I just get a 'cannot connect to' or 'cannot update' error (I forget the wording).I must have something fundamentally wrong here as Firefox works fine but the attempts to connect to the mirrors are really slow before they quit altogether.

Is that VL 5.9 Standard RC2? SOHO RC2? VL64 5.9 alpha2? All of those are long discarded development releases with known problems. You need to be on a final build of 5.9 or 5.9.1. The only current release candidate is Vector Linux 6.0 RC4.
